NAME

File::Spec::VMS - methods for VMS file specs

SYNOPSIS

 require File::Spec::VMS; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed

DESCRIPTION

See File::Spec::Unix for a documentation of the methods providedthere. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, notthe semantics.

canonpath (override)

Removes redundant portions of file specifications according to VMS syntax.

catdir (override)

Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns the result as aVMS-syntax directory specification. No check is made for ``impossible''cases (e.g. elements other than the first being absolute filespecs).

catfile (override)

Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns the result as aVMS-syntax file specification.

curdir (override)

Returns a string representation of the current directory: '[]'

devnull (override)

Returns a string representation of the null device: '_NLA0:'

rootdir (override)

Returns a string representation of the root directory: 'SYS$DISK:[000000]'

tmpdir (override)

Returns a string representation of the first writable directoryfrom the following list or '' if none are writable:

    sys$scratch:    $ENV{TMPDIR}

Since perl 5.8.0, if running under taint mode, and if $ENV{TMPDIR}is tainted, it is not used.

updir (override)

Returns a string representation of the parent directory: '[-]'

case_tolerant (override)

VMS file specification syntax is case-tolerant.

path (override)

Translate logical name DCL$PATH as a searchlist, rather than tryingto "split" string value of $ENV{'PATH'}.

file_name_is_absolute (override)

Checks for VMS directory spec as well as Unix separators.

splitpath (override)

Splits using VMS syntax.

splitdir (override)

Split dirspec using VMS syntax.

catpath (override)

Construct a complete filespec using VMS syntax

abs2rel (override)

Use VMS syntax when converting filespecs.

rel2abs (override)

Use VMS syntax when converting filespecs.
